<p>The <em>Journal of Argumentation in Context</em> aims to publish high-quality papers about the role of argumentation in the various kinds of argumentative practices that have come into being in social life. These practices include, for instance, political, legal, medical, financial, commercial, academic, educational, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication. In all cases certain aspects of such practices will be analyzed from the perspective of argumentation theory with a view of gaining a better understanding of certain vital characteristics of these practices. This means that the journal has an empirical orientation and concentrates on real-life argumentation but is at the same time out to publish only papers that are informed by relevant insights from argumentation theory. These papers may also report on case studies concerning specific argumentative speech events.</p><p>The journal aims to attract authors from various kinds of disciplinary background who are interested in studying argumentative practices in their fields of interest. In all cases, in papers published in the journal an interesting and revealing connection should be established between certain insights from argumentation theory and some particular context of argumentative practice.</p>

<p>The <em>Journal of Asian Pacific Communication</em> (JAPC) is an international journal whose academic mission is to bring together specialists from diverse scholarly disciplines to discuss and interpret <em>language in communication</em> issues as they pertain to people of Asian Pacific regions and in their immigrant communities worldwide.

The <em>Journal of Historical Linguistics</em> aims to publish papers that make a significant contribution to the theory and/or methodology of historical linguistics. Papers dealing with any language or language family are welcome. Papers should have a diachronic orientation and should offer new perspectives, refine existing methodologies, or challenge received wisdom, on the basis of careful analysis of extant historical data. We are especially keen to publish work which links historical linguistics to corpus-based research, linguistic typology, language variation, language contact, or the study of language and cognition, all of which constitute a major source of methodological renewal for the discipline and shed light on aspects of language change. Contributions in areas such as diachronic corpus linguistics or diachronic typology are therefore particularly welcome.

<p>The <em>Journal of Historical Pragmatics</em> provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization.</p><p>Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach. However, the focus of the articles is always on the communicative use of language.</p><p>The <em>Journal of Historical Pragmatics</em> contains original articles, research reports and book reviews. Occasionally focus-on issues are published on specific topics within the editorial scope of the journal.</p><p>The <em>Journal of Historical Pragmatics</em> invites relevant contributions. Authors are advised to consult the Guidelines. Abstracts of contributions may be sent to both editors, preferably via email.</p>

<p>JICB aims at publishing research on language immersion and other types of content-based language education programmes that are subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable. The journal provides a forum for research on well-established immersion and content-based programmes as well as research on new initiatives within the broad field of content-based language education. Both programme-specific and programme-contrastive articles are invited.</p><p>JICB editors welcome submissions of the highest quality that report on empirical research and/or offer theoretical discussions, and we seek innovative submissions that push the field forward and generate new knowledge. We encourage work that aims to break down barriers that have isolated language education from other disciplines. The content of each JICB issue is expected to be geographically broad and multidisciplinary (pedagogy; applied linguistics; sociology; psychology; speech, language, hearing sciences; language policy and planning; etc.). JICB supports the use of a wide range of research methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods), including action research.</p>

Research related with internationalization
and localization is new and is more and more solicited by language businesses,
software developers, translation agencies, international multilingual
organizations, universities, language planning policy makers and
standardization institutes.

The Journal of Internationalization and
Localization (JIAL) aims at establishing a worldwide discussion forum for both
professionals and academics in the area of internationalization and
localization. The scope of the journal is as broad as possible in order to
target all the players in the internationalization and localization profession.
The specific aim of the journal is to leverage the full range of information,
from academic research results to the floor of today's language industries,
and, conversely, to leverage business experiences in order to inform academic
research.

JIAL addresses an interdisciplinary
readership in that it focuses on contributions that generate an impact on the
localization and translation industry. A link between professionals and
academics is assured by the specific content of the articles and the members of
the editorial board. Each issue is reviewed by both academics and
professionals.

John Benjamins Publishing Company is the
official publisher as of Volume 3 (2016).

<p>The goal of the journal is to create a unique outlet for cutting edge research, and has a format, content and structure that reflect the rapidly growing interest in studies that focus on the language of aggression and conflict. The special focus on language use derives from the assumption that although aggression and conflict may manifest themselves through other means, they are fundamentally realized through language. Therefore, a thorough understanding of conflict and aggression needs to be anchored in an analysis of discourse.</p><p>The journal intends to be a forum for researchers who are interested in new tools and methods to investigate and better understand the language of aggression and conflict. Thus, JLAC is multidisciplinary in nature and encourages, supports and facilitates interaction and scholarly debate among researchers representing different fields including, but not limited to, linguistics, communication, psychology, anthropology, bi- and multilingualism, business management, second language acquisition, gender studies, etc.</p>

The Journal of Language and Politics (JLP) represents an interdisciplinary and critical forum for analysing and discussing the various dimensions in the interplay between language and politics. It locates at the intersection of several social science disciplines including communication and media research, linguistics, discourse studies, political science, political sociology or political psychology. It focuses mainly on the empirically-founded research on the role of language and wider communication in all social processes and dynamics that can be deemed as political. Its focus is therefore not limited to the ’institutional’ field of politics or to the traditional channels of political communication but extends to a wide range of social fields, actions and media (incl. traditional and online) where political and politicised ideas are linguistically and discursively constructed and communicated.

Articles submitted to JLP should bring together social theory, sociological concepts, political theories, and in-depth, empirical, communication- and language-oriented analysis. They have to be problem-oriented and rely on well-informed contemporary as well as historical contextualisation of the analysed social and political dynamics. Methodologies can be qualitative, quantitative or mixed, but must in any case be systematic and anchored in relevant social science disciplines. They may focus on various dimensions of political communication in general and of political language/discourse in particular.

The Journal of Language and Politics welcomes
review papers of any research monograph or edited volume which takes a critical
and analytical approach to the study of language and politics, as broadly
conceived above.

The Journal of Language and Politics publishes its articles Online First.

<p>The <em>Journal of Language and Sexuality </em>aims to present research on the discursive formations of sexuality, including sexual desire, sexual identities, sexual politics and sexuality in diaspora. Of interest is linguistic work in the widest possible sense, including work in sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, pragmatics, semantics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, and other modes of language-centered inquiry that will contribute to the investigation of discourses of sexuality and their linguistic and social consequences. On a theoretical level, the journal is indebted to Queer Linguistics as its major influence.</p>

The Journal of Narrative and Life History
was originally published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. It was originally a
multi-disciplinary journal for work on and with narrative in different
disciplines, establishing narrative inquiry as a trans-disciplinary new field.

In 1998 it was continued under the title Narrative Inquiry by John Benjamins
Publishing Company.

As of April 2015, John Benjamins also
distributes the back volumes of JNLH.

<p>The <em>Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages</em> (JPCL) aims to provide a forum for the scholarly study of pidgins, creoles, and other contact language varieties, from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The journal places special emphasis on current research devoted to empirical description, theoretical issues, and the broader implications of the study of contact languages for theories of language acquisition and change, and for linguistic theory in general. The editors also encourage contributions that explore the application of linguistic research to language planning, education, and social reform, as well as studies that examine the role of contact languages in the social life and culture, including the literature, of their communities.</p><p>JPCL has an accompanying website which provides an index to past issues and information about forthcoming issues, and which features letters to the editor, short notes, and obituaries not included in the journal itself: <a href="http://linguistics.osu.edu/research/publications/jpcl/">linguistics.osu.edu/research/publications/jpcl/</a></p><p><a href="http://linguistics.osu.edu/research/publications/jpcl/"></a></p><p>The journal has a companion series of books, the <a href="http://benjamins.com/catalog/cll">Creole Language Library</a>, under the editorship of Miriam Meyerhoff and Umberto Ansaldo.</p>

The
Journal of Second Language Pronunciation
is a scholarly journal devoted to research into the acquisition, perception,
production, teaching, assessment, and description of prosodic and segmental
pronunciation of second languages in all contexts of learning. The journal
encourages research that connects theory and practice, enhances our
understanding of L2 phonological learning processes, and provides connections
between L2 pronunciation and other areas of applied linguistics such as
pragmatics, CALL, and speech perception. Contributions focusing on empirical
research will represent all portions of the methodological spectrum including
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies. The journal invites
papers on topics such as intelligibility and comprehensibility, accent,
phonological acquisition, the use of technology (such as automatic speech
recognition, text-to-speech, and CAPT), spoken language assessment, the social
impact of L2 pronunciation, the ethics of pronunciation teaching, pronunciation
acquisition in less commonly taught languages, speech perception and its
relationship to speech production, and other topics.

Journal of Second Language Studies (JSLS) is an international refereed journal that is dedicated to promoting scholarly exchanges, advancing theoretical knowledge, and exploring pedagogical implications in second language acquisition and teaching. The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary research dealing with theoretical and practical issues of second language learning and acquisition in relation to linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and social cultural studies. It also seeks to promote scientific studies on the learning and teaching of Chinese as a second (foreign) language.
